Placement of object pronouns

Placement of Object Pronouns

Object pronouns in Spanish are typically placed:

  • Before conjugated verbs: “Lo veo” (I see it)
  • Attached to infinitives: “Quiero verlo” (I want to see it)
  • Attached to gerunds: “Estoy viéndolo” (I am seeing it)
  • With affirmative commands, attached at the end: “Dímelo” (Tell it to me)

With negative commands, they go before the verb: “No me lo digas” (Don’t tell it to me)
